Has anyone seen Sweetwater for sale around here yet? Their website said it was to be in the area by the end of 2008.

this is the email I got from their Distributor in NC yesterday:

Quote :

"SweetWater Brewing Company of Atlanta will make their Triangle debut early next week. All you will see is 420 draught in limited accounts for a period of time. This will be followed by 420, IPA, and Blue package with additional draught even further down the road. I will wait until the beer is flowing to announce locations."

3/10/2009 9:13:48 PM

Of their stuff, the IPA is the best.

3/11/2009 11:59:59 PM

i'm going to atl today i could pick some up for you...

3/12/2009 9:16:01 AM

bttt since its early next week already

3/16/2009 4:38:52 PM

i've had the 420 pale ale at the sun dial in atlanta. i loved it. last i knew they only had distributors out west in NC. i'll check out total wine i hope they have more than the IPA but if they don't i'm still excited.

3/16/2009 6:29:54 PM

They have it in some little sandwich shop near the college of charleston. I too enjoyed the 420 pale ale./

3/20/2009 12:04:21 AM

If it was here yesterday it wouldn't be soon enough. I love this brewery. Another TWW'er has spotted the 420 and the Blue in a Greensboro Harris Teeter.

We need an Official Sweetwater Spotting! thread.

3/20/2009 8:25:38 AM

been in charlotte for over a month now.

3/20/2009 11:01:12 AM

is it only sold at the grocery?

3/20/2009 11:06:30 AM

you can buy all of them at the grocery store. i've only seen the 4:20 Ale on tap at a bar. the barkeep said that it'll be a while before Blue is available on tap.

3/20/2009 11:32:05 AM

^^^^ yea i got 420 at the friendly harris teeter in gboro a few weeks ago. not sure how long its been there. they also had another sweetwater variety but i can't remember what it was

so is 420 in raleigh now? total wine? anywhere else? i want to get some ton.

3/20/2009 12:10:18 PM

Sweetwater starts distribution this week. You should start seeing 420 tap handles sparingly around Raleigh in the next few weeks. Trying to rollout in a few accounts at a time. I'll post up the bar accounts as they are picked up!

Raleigh Times will have it this weekend, should either have it tonight or tommorrow



[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 12:22 PM. Reason : Make that tonight. I will be there to have a pint or 2!]

3/20/2009 12:15:36 PM

seriously? i'm def going to the times ton or tom then

3/20/2009 12:26:35 PM

Still no word on Harris Teeters in Raleigh/Cary or Total Wines having the 420 anything else other than the IPA?

3/20/2009 12:27:25 PM

Pretty sure Total Wine has 420, other beers will follow soon. Better to hit them with the best seller and then follow up to get more shelf space.

3/20/2009 12:31:23 PM

why sweat sweetwater when FatTire is here... 420 is good, but not as good as my amber delight.

3/20/2009 1:02:36 PM

Called Total Wine in cary yesterday. I was informed they won't have Sweetwater beer until May. But that they're getting it in May.

So.... was I speaking with an ignorant? Because some of you claim they do have it...

3/22/2009 11:32:46 PM

Talked to the manager of Flying Saucer today. He's expecting a keg of Sweetwater today. The tap is all ready and so assuming all goes well Flying Saucer will be selling Sweetwater permanently beginning tonight!

3/23/2009 1:46:45 PM

I had it tonight at saucer. i enjoyed it. would try again.

3/24/2009 12:29:19 AM

So are you guys finding 12 packs or just 6? I wonder if I can order a keg in Greenville.

I was in Greensboro today and right across the street was a smaller HT that carrried it. Ended up grabbing a sixer of each 420, Blue, and IPA. 28 bucks FTL though, I was planning on getting 2 cases.

4/24/2009 8:32:18 PM

meh, i don't get all the hype. Tried it the other week.
